Patent number: 10918551Abstract: An device for manually unlocking a holding mechanism to which a load is applied is disclosed. The device has an operating element which is to be operated manually for unlocking the holding mechanism via an operating force that increases as the load increases, a conversion mechanism which includes a force transfer element coupled to the operating element, and a trigger coupled to the force transfer element. In order to unlock the holding mechanism the trigger is movable by the operating force transferred by the force transfer element to the trigger from a locked position in which the trigger is operatively decoupled from an unlocking component into an unlocked position in which the trigger is in contact with the unlocking component and unlocks said holding mechanism. The conversion mechanism includes an elastically deformable force limiter via which the force transfer element is coupled to the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: MAQUET GMBHInventors: Ulrich Wyslucha, Markus Singer, Reinhard Gantke, Hans-Joerg Hopfengart
